Been making an effort to practice more comic creation.
One big take away from the practice for the future is to consider dialogue placement beforehand, because I'm not sure where to fit it, lol
I recently came in possession of an Inuyasha manga from a free-book table at my work. I don't care much for the story or anything like that, but this particular book was called an "Ani-Manga" so it's like a manga but with screenshots directly from the anime. Each page there's about 3-4 panels, sometimes up to 6 if there's a lot of action going on. I might practice using that format because it seems like for the most part the panels stay relatively the same. The comic isn't too concerned with making unique panels and whatnot which is where I start to overthink things.
The only negative thing I can think of is each panel has a complete background as they are just screenshots taken directly from the anime and that the book is just re-telling an already planned out story.
Anyway, just brainstorming some different ideas.

IMHO, your best bet is to simplify the background you draw (as that would otherwise eat up a ton of time in drawing a comic page like this), or reuse elements of it. The third and fourth panel could have the same exact background (and the second nothing, as there's no space for it), so that would lessen things somewhat. Or else cheat - they just broke out of a misty forest to find the pyramid, so there's little of anything behind them for the last panel.
